[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6740123, member: 5834"] One of my players is an Underdark ranger. What effect is it having? 1. They can move at a fast speed with no Perception problems since the ranger is always alert. 2. He casts [I]goodberry[/I] to keep them nourished. They still have to find water, which is relatively easy given two of the characters have Outlander and the ranger can forage well in his favored terrain. 3. Difficult terrain doesn't have much of an effect on them. The party can generally move across spider webs and such at full speed. Not sure the rule was ever intended for this, but by the rule for terrain the ranger negates difficult terrain after spending an hour in the area. Life is much easier with an Underdark ranger. I imagine it all depends on how important it is to you as a DM to create the feeling of being stranded in the Underdark. I didn't feel it was very important. I like the idea of having characters tied to the Underdark with reasons for being there other than imprisonment. Most of my party is drow. They have business in Menzoberanzzan other than what is listed in the module. [/QUOTE]
